“It was a good game all around, end to end stuff. Unfortunately, no team was able to score it’s a point apiece for each of us. So it’s vital for the title and it’s a good chase down to the end,” Cardoso told SuperSport after the game.

Cardoso believes they did their defensive duties well on the evening, and was happy with the fact that he made over 40 passes throughout the game.

“Can’t say I have,” he responded in reference to his stats on the game.

“I don’t really look at that but its good stats to have for myself as a footballer. Our game plan was me covering the other two centre-backs because they always wanted to play it around the back and sides and I thought I had done our job well especially with the other centre-backs covering when I came in,” he said.

With the 70 000 spectators in attendance for the mouthwatering top-of-the-table clash, Cardoso wish to see other PSL games follow suit, while he has happy to be finally staking his claim in the team.

“Great atmosphere. I wish every game can be like this in the PSL. I hope it continues. I am glad,” he said.

“I am glad I got the chance in the beginning of the season and I’m glad the coaching staff and management give me a chance so I just want to keep growing as a player,” he added.

Cardoso played well he was more solid in diffence,he nvr panick when downs team they we're in position,playing like a leader,helping the likes of Ngezana and Hadebe to be more focused on their game,allso katsande and maluleke they we're more dicipline in the middle of the park,they nvr give downs team a chance to keep position they close them quickly.
